This tutorial describes how to configure External DNS to use either the Contour IngressRoute
or HTTPProxy
source.
The IngressRoute
CRD is deprecated but still in-use in many clusters however it's recommended that you migrate to the HTTPProxy
resource.
Using the HTTPProxy
resource with External DNS requires Contour version 1.5 or greater.
Note that you don't need to enable both of the sources and if you don't enable contour-ingressroute
you also don't need to configure the contour-load-balancer
setting.

The following instructions are based on the Contour example workload.
